Seven Days 'Til A Place for the Son

Everyone's heard the story Of how the world began How God created all in seven days On the seventh day He took a restful stand And God said "let there be light" On day 1 God said "let the darkness Divide from the light" On the left darkness was the vast universe The light was the promise of a bright future And it took its place on the right ON day 2 God divided the water Seven times to make the seas From it came the mightiest rivers And the tiniest streams On Day 3 God divided the valleys From the peaks Up grew the green grass and the Yellow flowers (the beauty of nature That everyone seeks) On day 4 God divided the brightness He made the sun, the moon and the stars He sprinkled the stars against the night so that to reach them Never seemed very far On day 5 God divided His praying hands To cover the empty land Fish swam the rivers Beasts roamed the prairies Birds flocked together in a strand On day 6 God divided "lonely" from "life" He scooped up the clay to make a man And a rib from man's side made his wife On day 7 God rested (I'm sure He thought about all He'd done and thought it would be the perfect place to raise His only Son)
